Yes, Nishi has reached its 100th release. To celebrate, we asked some past, present and future artists to submit tracks for a compilation album. The result is almost 3 hours of music spanning dozens of genres, styles and moods (not to mention several continents). Between the sublime washes from Pocka and Ambient Field, the dark glitch-pop of Samarah and John Tennant, and the relentless pounding of Elektro Punc and Sascha Müller, and everything in between, there really should be something for...

The CDs were sold out long ago, and Severed Digit no longer exists, but we've given these tracks a new home. Ten tracks ranging from breakcore/hip-hop to ambient chimes and drones.

A month in 36 minutes: one track for each day of July 2005. Blue T-Shirt cooks up a smorgasbord of electronic styles and moods. Track 5 has barely begun when it dissolves into swathes of reverb; track 12 could be the soundtrack to the world's shortest film; track 10 is a chaotic flurry of filthy drums and slurred synths; the final track is a sprawling slab of ambience weighing in at a lengthy 4:56. But you really need to listen for yourself to pick out your own favourites.

An enigmatic EP from an enigmatic artist. The breaks and melodies are slick and flawlessly produced, never dirtier nor cleaner than they need to be. The overall atmosphere is compelling and uplifting, but it can get rather dark in the shadows.

The title track is a study in relentless pads, cyclic bass, clicky minimal rhythms, and the odd ethereal swoosh. On the flipside, Cardiogram is a slightly dubbier affair, bringing the heartbeat-like bass to the foreground and underpinning it with clicks and sporadic pads. Just the kind of understated melodic ambience we know you love so much, with the perfect balance between progression and repetition.

Jazz cross-bred with electronica... nnnnnnnice! But don't be put off by "the J word"; Andy Selby's virtual ensemble avoid self-indulgent noodling and create a catchy, coherent set of tracks. Synthetic bass and brass, ethereal e-piano and intricately sliced drums: something cool for these hot summer days.

Is it too cliché to utter the quote "Make love, not war" in the year 2004? Well, we plead guitly if so. Herotyc, a long-time Nishi arms inspector is back once again with this virtual whitelabel vinyl to drop a different sort of bomb on you. Four tracks of techie-techno for the final days of summer. (I sound like a DJ!)

Cagey House is here to throw a Steel Tantrum. Playful (yet dangerous) slices of electronica that aren't afraid to shoot off on tangents in the name of experimentation.

Car Music shifts the emphasis onto rhythms, sometimes frantic and sometimes sporadic, while retaining a keen ear for the unusual.

Pino the Frog returns to Nishi with a three-part study of aqueous sound fields. Sonorous and meditative.

Rich.vom.Dorf. returns to Nishi with a five track album follow up to his 'Misinterpret Yourself' It has his trademark rhythmic playfulness and catchy melodies, and is perhaps a touch more upbeat and dense than his previous album.

Sometimes numbers speak louder than words, if you know how to interpret them. .at/on packages four miniature worlds of brutally abstract wave/particle duality into DGT. A sporadic abundance of arithmetical discord.
